Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23435
Features are disabled by default, and Microsoft confirms there will be no further changes to the final version.
Microsoft File Explorer
The Windows 11 Dev update comes with an all-new File Explorer with an addition to Gallery in File Explorer. Currently, this is only available in the Dev Version of Windows 11. The update is likely to be rolling out soon for the Canary Channel in the coming days, where users are likely to get a new File Explorer with a Gallery.
This update will make it easier for users to have access to their photo collection. It works quite similarly to the Photos app used to be. However, it is primarily optimized to show your most recent photos, and it also has an added OneDrive Recent image. Users still have the option to select which folder image will appear here in the Gallery in File Explorer. Also, users can use different sub-folders of existing sources to filter a subset of contents like Desktop Background, SD Card/Camera Imports.
It also allows users to directly pick the image from their File Explorer so they can add, select, or insert images from Gallery in File Explorer to their Social Media, Email attachments, or PowerPoint. You will notice a Pizza icon on the top of the File Manager, which indicates that you are using the Insider preview of the Windows App SDK version of File Explorer as the company is switching from WinUI 2 to WinUI3 design, but the functionality remains the same.
This feature is currently rolling out to a handful of users, which means it’s not available to every insider in the Dev Channels. The company will roll it out to other users after successful testing and fixing the bugs they received from the feedback. It is advised to send useful feedback to Microsoft so they can fix it.
Badaing on Start Menu
Windows has been testing the badagin on the start menu. Some handful of users have already received the new treatment for users logging in with local user accounts to show the benefits of signing in with a Microsoft Account (MSA) as some users still prefer to continue using Windows without signing in to the account.
Narrator
Narrator is now improved with interaction with Traditional Chinese Character, as it is now updated with Traditional Chinese Dictinors for detailed reading. It currently supports the Taiwan Language pack and is yet to receive the Hong-Kong Language Pack with Narrator.
Settings
Now your PC knows if you go away from your desktop. Settings are now updated with a Presence sensing but for this, you need to have a Compatible Presence Sensor. Definitely, users can choose which app they want to allow to use the Presence sensor.
However, it won’t prevent from utilizing wake and lock features with Presence sensor. You can check this setting by opening the Windows Settings and from there head over to Privacy & Security and then check it under Presence Sensing. Apart from these, there are some minor changes, including bug fixes, which you can learn more about on the Microsoft Insider Blog.
